Your answers suggest that you are: THE MINDLESS MUNCHER

This quiz is not scientific (at all), and you are most likely a combination of diet personality types. We hope that taking the quiz was fun, and that you’ve found a nugget (not the chicken kind) of useful information here that helps you to better manage your weight and health.

If you’re looking for more scientific recommendations to help you, consider asking a registered dietitian for some advice. Here’s what your answers suggest that your diet personality may be:

THE MINDLESS MUNCHER

Mindless Munchers rarely make time for a balanced, sit-down meal. They graze throughout the day, grabbing a snack here, some hors d’oeuvres there. When peckish, they pull out crackers or chips, intending to just eat one or two, and the next thing they know—um, empty package. They’re often unaware of how much they eat. Look down at your computer keypad. See crumbs? It’s hard to resist a snack—that bowl of peanuts at the bar, or the breadbasket at a restaurant.

Bottom-line advice: Keep a food diary. Make time for sit-down meals, steer clear of finger foods, and ask the waiter ahead of time to nix the breadbasket. Start paying close attention to the actual process of eating. Learn more about mindful eating here.

Your answers suggest that you are: THE ROYAL ROLLER COASTER

If you’re looking for more scientific recommendations to help you, consider asking a registered dietitian for some advice. Here’s what your answers suggest that your diet personality may be:

THE ROYAL ROLLER COASTER

Royal Roller Coasters too often eat according to how they feel. We all know the Bridget Jones stereotype—someone who deals with a breakup (or other blow) with a spoon and a pint of ice cream. No bowl required. Or maybe they turn to chocolate. The weight loss plan? Out the window. And sometimes, the same response can be triggered when Roller Coasters are ecstatically happy. Maybe they land a good job, and on the way home that day, they buy a box of cupcakes displayed in a bakery window. In a study that spanned 50 years, researchers found that people who scored the highest on “impulsivity” weighed 24 pounds more on average than people who scored lowest.

Bottom-line advice: Moods, by definition, are temporary. Time them, and you’ll know how long you need to ride out your cravings to avoid impulsive eating. Treating yourself once in a while is fine, but swinging from deprivation to overindulgence according to the pendulum of your moods wreaks havoc on both your waistline and your blood sugar levels.

THE SECRET SNACKER

Secret Snackers put up a good front, eating all the “right” foods, but once their guard comes down, it all falls apart. They’re prone to bingeing. They may be virtuous during the day, simply because they’re so busy, it’s easy to be good. Come evening, they’re ravenous, scarfing down (usually high-carb) foods. Snacking at night is a double whammy, too. Nighttime eaters tend to consume more calories overall, and also tend to gain more weight. For one thing, they’re not hungry the next morning, and often skip breakfast—starting the cycle again.

Bottom-line advice: Your best solution is to eat breakfast and have a good selection of healthy, low-carb snacks handy to eat throughout the day. Not only will this fuel your body more naturally and steadily, but it is also the ticket to better blood glucose levels. Maybe if you allow yourself small indulgences, too, you will feel less need to sneak.

If you’re looking for more scientific recommendations to help you, consider asking a registered dietitian for some advice. Here’s what your answers suggest that your diet personality may be:

THE CONVENIENCE CONSUMER

Convenience Consumers are pressed for time, and love junky convenience foods. Their weekly repertoire might include McDonald’s®, Chinese take-out, drive-thrus, microwaveable containers, and Slim Jims®. These days, with Dunkin Donuts® kiosks in the grocery store, chips and soda sold at drugstores and gas stations, and vending machines in schools, there’s no getting away from junk food. Trouble is, with this comes nearly-toxic doses of sodium, sugar, preservatives, bad fats, and other chemicals.

Bottom-line advice: Diet plans with delivered foods or meals may work for you. Also, try to replace one or two processed or fast foods a week with healthier alternatives, such as pre-washed mini carrots, nuts, hard-boiled eggs, or lettuce roll-ups. The more times you see you can do it, the more healthy choices you’ll be able to make.

Your answers suggest that you are: OR MS. MEAT AND POTATOES

If you’re looking for more scientific recommendations to help you, consider asking a registered dietitian for some advice. Here’s what your answers suggest that your diet personality may be:

OR MS. MEAT AND POTATOES

You never entirely saw the humor in the book title Real Men Don’t Eat Quiche, and you’d take a steak and fries over a spinach-y egg pie any day. If your plate doesn’t contain meat and a starch, you end up feeling unsatisfied. And please don’t even mention sushi. Finally, when it comes to vegetables, your taste buds stop somewhere right after corn and peas.

Bottom-line advice: You need a greater variety of vitamins, minerals, fats, and plant nutrients for optimal health, diabetes or not. This means having more variety on your plate. C’mon, salads come pre-washed and pre-chopped in the supermarket now. And certain fish—like tuna—is just as satisfying as beef. Start with a few simple substitutions, and build from there. (Psst! Quiche is pretty darn good.) Some other food for thought: a 2010 study found that when people are offered food in a meal setting (with plate, utensils, and cloth napkin) versus a snack setting (paper plates and no utensils) they ate 28 percent more calories.

1. Question

You’ve overslept, and are late for work. You have 15 minutes to get out the door. You…

a. grab a breakfast sandwich from the drive-thru and inhale it while driving

b. berate yourself for oversleeping, and end up eating a sleeve of cookies and a banana

c. end up with a pretty good breakfast because you always have snacks stashed in your briefcase, car, and/or desk at work

d. skip breakfast all together, figuring there’s always a vending machine or convenience store if you can’t make it until lunch

e. microwave one of the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches you have prepped and wrapped in your fridge

Question 2 of 15

2. Question

It’s a cocktail party, which means we’ll likely find you…

a. hanging out by the food table, gabbing and nibbling—and an hour later, you can’t believe how full you suddenly are

b. gobbling up seconds of the fancy hors d’oeuvres—life’s too short, and a party is a time to indulge and enjoy

c. politely declining hors d’oeuvres, making others envious of your restraint (but unfortunately, you go home and binge on snacks later, when no one’s around)

d. making a beeline for the snacks or buffet—you can’t resist pigs in blankets and those mini egg rolls. The party spread will serve as dinner for you.

e. refusing most of the strange-looking, gourmet hors d’oeuvres. They usually have things in them you don’t care for (like raw fish or spinach), and you want to be sure to leave room for your dinner, anyway.

e. have favorites like chicken pot pie, fish and chips, and white bread rolls for lunch and dinner—and still eat dessert

Question 6 of 15

6. Question

10. Question

You’re home at dinnertime, and there’s a lovely meal prepared. Where will we find you?

a. In front of the TV or getting engrossed in a conversation, meaning that you hardly taste your food—and take a second helping you don’t really need

c. At the dinner table, eating sensibly—but you’ll probably be back later to grab a nighttime snack.

d. At the dinner table, enjoying this unusual circumstance—this must be how people dine in other countries

Question 11 of 15

11. Question

d. not much. You’re not exactly a big grocery shopper. You probably have some leftover take-out food and a loaf of questionable bread. Your butter compartment might be full of condiment packets—you never know when you might actually use all that duck sauce.
